Finally got the nursery done!!

Well it is finally done and we think that it looks great. Special thanks to Nana and Bompa for donating 2 cribs, Danny at Fast Signs for help with the vinyl letters, Sherman Williams for the paint, Grandma Lucky, Becca and Steve and their mad paint skills and for all of the extra help with the shelves and picture frames. I wish there was a better picture of the bedspreads, bed skirts and drapes handmade by Nana and Becca. Countless hours have been spent in this little room and it sure shows all around. Come over for a tour anyday, we would love to show it off.

The 3peats first Dr appt.


They barely could even keep there eyes open for the picture, but momma made sure they all looked cute as we set off on our adventure going to the Doctor's office today. Let me tell you about the entourage it took to load all of the ninos into the burb and grab grandma and head off to St Marks Hospital. That was a feat in itself, but we managed and were able to arrive in one piece. The appointment went great and the chicos are putting on the pounds and just about back to their birth weight. Easton has a little more to go compared to his brothers. They checked all of their vitals and signed off on them and we were on our way back home. Going to the doctors sure worn them out today, so we will have to prepare them a little better for our next adventures outside Village Point Way next week.

Kenlee the big sister


Kenlee has really stepped up to her new role as the Big Sister. She loves to help us feed them and hold them. She enjoys taking care of her baby dolls too. She feeds them and puts them down for naps. It is precious to listen to her talk to her brothers. She can't wait to get them outside on the play set.

Daddy can't be left alone to watch the kids anymore!!!!


Well we have been doing so good today, until Daddy got left all alone to keep tabs on the kiddos and try to entertain Kenlee. Jen & Josh just left after bringing us lunch and helping us out with a few feedings. The 3peat is napping and Aubry has finally fallen asleep too. So Kenlee and I have been entertaining ourselves. NASCAR is on and I have been trying to keep everything updated and up on the laundry/dishes, and I should have know beforehand because Kenlee got really quiet and this is how I found her. Good thing I found her before she got to the walls. Good thing they are washable markers and already washed off her before mommy wakes up.

the 3peats first night at home




All the bros just hanging out, and making themselves right at home. Easton, Colton & Peyton in that order just in case you could not tell. To be honest with you I still have a hard time telling the difference between them until we take off their hats and see their hair.
By the way if anybody is interested in coming over to see them or to help with a feeding, please call Becca Leeper 801-554-3159 to schedule a time. The schedule we have them on is 5:00, 8:00 11:00a.m., 2:00, 5:00, 8:00, 10:30 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. depending. Call her she has it all figured out. We are so grateful for her and all she has done and continues to do for us. And we look forward to seeing everybody and getting to know these babies with you.

The special carseats we had to have to leave the hospital

What an amazing day we have had and the Hand of the Lord has shown itself again for our sweet little babies. The triplets passed all of the required tests to leave the hospital such as hold their own temperature, eat on their own (no I.V.'s) and show signs of gaining weight. Well after they had passed all three they told us that they had one more test and that was the car seat test. We were worried because the car seats we have are for 5-29 lbs and we knew that we were on the bubble. Well the results came back and they were not what we wanted. We scrambled and tried to find infant car seats for 0-20 lb babies and they are tough to find and an expense we did not want to have to incur, since the triplets would not be in them very long. We asked the hospital if they rented these little seats, they said no. The hospital has them to give out to low income family's and those on Medicaid, but we did not qualify for either of those. They said they were out of stock also and we began to worry we might not get these babies home for a few more days. But low and behold, this morning a nurse (Kathy) we had had a few days back found 3 brand new still in the boxes infant car beds in the storage closet that were not there the night before. She talked to the charge nurse and told her about our situation with the triplets and she is letting us borrow them until we do not need them any more. We were so excited and feel so fortunate and blessed for all of the wonderful experiences we have all ready had and we have only had them here a week.
